Architectural Design

During design development, we advance the design significantly based on the floor plan and exterior concept approved in the previous step.

The first priority of this phase is to define and develop all important aspects of the project and produce a set of general drawings and specifications for preliminary cost estimates.

Once we know we’re on track, we’ll talk specifically about interior and exterior materials and performance.

As we plan the arrangement of interior and exterior spaces, we modify the placement of windows and doors and make adjustments to the building form.

This stage is usually when our clients feel that the project is being implemented and it is possible to see themselves in the new space.

By the end of the design development phase, the exterior of the building is fully designed, the interior layout is completed, the dimensions of all spaces are finalized, and most of the materials are selected.

A structural engineer will be added to the team and consultants for plumbing and electrical systems may be needed depending on the complexity of the project.

A set of more detailed drawings will be available that share the overall plan and volume of the building or space, all major equipment, and the type of material or finish for each level of the project.

At this stage we turn the design drawings into a complete and accurate set of construction documents.

These drawings and specifications contain all the details, dimensions and notes necessary to convey the overall design intent to the builder.

We show how building components are to be connected, specify all materials, finishes, fixtures, equipment and fixtures to be installed and coordinate our drawings with structural engineer’s and other consultant’s drawings.

The construction documentation phase often takes the most time, which can surprise clients because the design looks complete after this part.

However, this is a critical step in the process of successfully and accurately implementing the plan you have invested in.

During this phase, we add to the construction documents the additional information needed to obtain a building permit. This is information to demonstrate the project’s compliance with applicable land use, building and energy codes, and other guidelines and regulations. Applicable required by the city or jurisdiction issuing the permit.

We submit these plans to the local planning reviewer along with the various forms required for the permit application, monitor progress during the review period, and provide additional information or clarifications upon request.

At this stage, nothing is required from the customer, except patience. Our goal is to complete your project as quickly and hassle-free as possible, but the length and cost of this step can vary greatly depending on the jurisdiction, the complexity of the project, and any specific historic district or design review process.

Types of building designs are chosen according to taste, geographical location, usage and many other points. Among the most famous types of design, modern, classic and neoclassical styles can be mentioned. Of course, the design style of the facade and interior decoration are different. There are very few details in the modern facade of the building, but you can see many details and decorations in the classical facade and The neoclassical facade has some of the simplicity of the modern style, but it also has some details.

According to many, the classic style is the mother of all styles, and the Roman facade is a type of classic style that has less details. The situation is very different in the case of interior design, because people do not have to follow a series of special rules and regulations, and the layout is completely according to their own taste. but in the facade, you have to follow the laws in the area and provide the plan to the facade committee so that it is fully approved and then proceed for implementation. Interior design with modern, classic, neoclassical, industrial style , Scandinavian, Mediterranean, etc., styles can be combined or, for example, one style can be considered for every room in the house.
